Robert GrahamChicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) recently boasted of the millions of dollars given to minority-owned businesses to feed illegal aliens, asserting that it really captures “the soul of Chicago.”
The Democrat-run city announced a partnership with a nonprofit to help what the press release described as “black and brown” businesses feed illegal immigrants:
In partnership with the City of Chicago, over the past eight months the Greater Chicago Food Depository and State of Illinois invested $17.6 million in small, predominately Black and Latino owned Chicago businesses to feed more than 10,000 asylum-seeking new arrivals.
The press release further boasts about this venture in the wake of the homelessness crisis.
It highlights the effort further, explaining that Chicago “called on the Food Depository to help provide meals for the growing number of asylum-seeking new arrivals at city-operated shelters.”
“Working in close coordination with the City of Chicago, the Food Depository convened a network of BIPOC restaurants and caterers to provide daily hot meals at an expanding number of shelters,” it reads, providing no explanation as to why white businesses were excluded.
